I think it's the other way around: demis are becoming mods.Out of interest, why are moderators becoming Demi-Gods? Do they even have to pay now for being here?
Got a tip for us?

I guess it's one of the (well, the only) benefits we get, free access to the Demi forums.
I wasn't and have never been a Demi-God
I thought that too, but many were not Demis before, thus my interest. When the last batch of moderators was announced last year, I didn't pay that much attention to the previous states of their membership, but saw, that every moderator seems to be a Demi-God.
Maybe once a moderator has been named (in the inner circle of MR), they are forced to pay some kind of fee, otherwise they would be forced to go to 4chan.
I don't know really, but I try to.
Thanks for the "explanation".
They need to compensate I guess. Smaller sleep cycles, bigger avatars I guess.Don't forget that extra big avatar!!
I didn't know for sure, since some who are demis prefer not to use the demi titles.
Wow. Congratulations to all. Esp. balamw and robbieduncan (amoungst others) in the programming forum, who's posts have helped me so much.
Congrats to the new Mods, excellent choices, and nice, too, to see a few from Europe. Thanks also for explaining the criteria used for selection.
Cheers

Thanks for the welcome folks. I just hope I can do the job justice! There are some really hard working moderators at the round table. Many of us recruits feel a bit intimidated.
That round table is in a dark smoky room, and everyone is wearing .

Congrats guys. Missed this thread for some reason.
Noticing the larger avatars and new titles on a few of you caused me to see if an announcement was made....

No flies on you.

I don't even know how to take that.
A-ha! Mystery solved - I wondered what robbieduncan was doing, editing other people's posts left, right and centre....
Excellent news - congrats new mods.

Congratulations to you all! And, of course, to those who were anointed previously.
I can't fathom how someone could do that.
